Subject Terms:	Artificial intelligence, Individual differences, Educational technology, Educational attainment, Curriculum planning, Best practices
Abstract:	There is an ongoing debate in the literature about the ways of using technology to enhance students' Computational Thinking (CT). This special issue further enriches this debate by investigating how educational technology could be used, and for which purposes, to facilitate learning CT. It includes six papers demonstrating the innovative design of curricula and the use of various technologies to teach CT for students in different educational levels. Based on these papers, this special issue points out that more research is needed to investigate the best educational practices that could be used to teach CT rather than focusing on the technology itself. It also reveals that future work could cover smart learning analytics and precision education to better model students' individual differences, hence effectively supporting learning CT.
